This invention relates to a new and useful process of providing by hand or manufacture a trimming material or cloth, hand woven, or manufactured.

The said trimming material or cloth is rather unique in appearance, very durable, and easy to make, as the latter may be produced by hand, or by machine.

As the process involved is comparatively simple the cost of manufacturing should be proportionately low.

With the aboveand other objects in view, this invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and arrange ment of parts, hereinafter fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming parts of this application, and in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a top plan of my finished fabric;

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional View taken on line 22 of Figure 1 Figure 8 illustrates one of the preferred modes of making the said trimming material or cloth; while Figure 4 shows another mode; and

Figure 5 illustrates a somewhat different manner of procedure;

Figure 6 is a bottom view of the cylinder 15 shown in Figure 5.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 10 indicates apiece of material, preferably card clothing providedwith the usual fine wire threads 11, scattered over the surface.

On top of the said card clothing, which has the advantage that it'may be of any desired size, a chenille 12, or any other suitable kind of yarn, is then laid out by means of the said wires 11, accord1ng to a prearranged design, or the .operators own design, which may be simultaneously conceived,in such a manner that the said yarn or chenille will form a compact unity, or mass of cloth-like material, which is to constitute the upper, or front surface of the said trimming material or cloth, as shown at 13 in Figure 2.

fter the said front surface material has thus been arranged, and while the latter is ferent manner:

provided.

stillheld in place upon and retained by the wires of the card clothing, a rubberized cloth isnext laid upon the top of the said surface material, and a slight pressure applied thereto, whereupon the latter with the said rubberized cloth, shown at let in Figure 2, which is to form the bottom or lower pa'rt'of the finished product, may be lifted clear of the wires of the said card clothing. If further desired, in order to secure absolute adhesive ness between the design, as laid out, and the rubberized material, these two parts may be subjected to a slight pressing process. The said trimming material or cloth may also be made in the following slightly dif- A large table, shown in Figure 4', has upon its top-surface been provided with a suitable design for the said trimming material or cloth; this design may be made upon the said surface in any suitable manner, as by chalk,

lead pencil, etc. a chemical fluid of a slightly adhesive characteristic, is next appliedto the said top-surface, and the yarn or chenille 'is then laid out uponthe said table according to thedesign; the said yarnbeing secured in the laid out andarranged position by means of the said fluid.

"'When thus, as formerly described, a compact un1ty,or mass of cloth-like materialh as been obtained from the said chenille or yarn, a rubberized clothis in turn appl ed to the top surface of the said material, and a'slight pressure exerted, whereupon the ensemble,

cloth, may readily be disengaged'fro'mthe 1, e., the trimming proper and rubberize'd table, and thus another finished product of trimming material or cloth will have been his obvious that instead of the saidfiuid, a number of adhesive tapes may bc'stretched across the table to secure the chenille or yarn in position without in any manner interfering materially with the design, even if the latter is prearranged and marked upon the table.

In Figure 5 is shown a mechanical embodiment of my idea, which may be employed to some advantage.

Thus a cylindrical tube 15 is herein pro-= 3rd 'day of August, A. D. 1931.

vided with a piston 16; the said tube being near the bottom and oppositely formed with openings 17 adapted to let the chenille or yarn pass through, while the latter by means of the piston is pressed into and fastened up on a rubberized cloth 14: arranged below the said tube, thereby providing a result similar to one of these formerly described.

The usual means may be employed for moving'the yarn or chenille, and the said tube may be movable andsuitable for manipulation by hand; or the said tube may be stationary and the rubberized cloth may be moved underneath the former.

WVhile the said tube-device may be modified in construction in various ways, as it is only desired herein to indicate the principles, the sa'idtube may be operated by electricity; and instead of a piston, as shown, compressed air may well be used.

A bottom construction of the said tube is 7 shown in Figure 6.

It is quite obvious that changes may be made in the form, construction and arrange ment of the several parts, asshown, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention, and I do not therefore wish to limit myself to the exact construction and arrangement shown and described herein.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

1. A process of producing trimming material or cloth, hand woven, or manufactured A comprising the steps of using a card clothing provided with fine wire threads, the lay out, according to a preconceived design, of a chenille'or other suitable yarn between the said wire threads in a compact manner to form a cloth-like material, and attaching to the latter, by placing on top thereof and exerting a slight pressure, a rubberized cloth, substantially as shown and described.

2. A process ofproducing trimmingmaterialo'r cloth, hand woven, or manufactured,

comprising the steps of using a cardclothing provided with fine wire threads, the'layout, according to a'design, of a yarn or chenille between saidwire threads in a compact manner to form a cloth-like material, and attaching to the latter,-by placing on top thereof and exerting a'slight pressure, a rubberized cloth, whereuponthe said ensemble, when disengaged from the said card clothing'is submitted to a slight pressing, substantially as shown and described.
